Interested in generating electricity? Consider the benefits of generating green energy from renewable sources such as the sun, wind, water or bioenergy. You can be part of Ontario’s growing green energy movement and contribute to a cleaner environment.
Connecting new projects to the grid isn’t always straightforward. Sometimes, there simply isn’t enough capacity available, and figuring out where those limits exist can take time and effort. To support this growth and enable smarter planning, the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) has launched the Centralized Capacity Information Map (CCIM), which can help you get ahead by offering an early view of available grid capacity. The map can be accessed using the following link:

Whether you’re a municipality, developer, investor, or customer, the CCIM gives you insights that make planning easier and more efficient. While it doesn’t replace the need to contact your local distribution company, it provides valuable context before those conversations begin.
Distributed Energy Resources (DER) include solar panels, combined heat and power plants, energy storage facilities, and natural gas-fuelled generators. Information on the process and forms for DER connections can be found here:
Distributed Energy Resources (DER)
Customers should contact Algoma Power to determine if there is sufficient generation capacity prior to incurring any significant expenses on a DER project.
